About TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful, classic time piece, yet 1 hold up
I received this Tag Carerra as a gift about 4 months ago, after having desired it for over a year. This is a beautiful time piece that I really enjoy keeping and wearing, and hope to have forever. The black face makes reading the time even easier. The band is probably stainless steel, with a silver inner lining, and is amazingly comfortable. The links are small, and hence bend easily and flexibly. The snap is the best I have ever used, and seems like it will last a long time, unlike my Bulova's snap. Also, it seems to be somewhat resistant from scratching, which is typically a problem for a hard core Excel/computer user like myself.

The back of the watch is clear, so that you can witness the self winding mechanism. Ironically, this option is the only drawback. If you do not wear the watch, and take it off for more than 24 hours, you will probabaly find that it has lost the time, needing to be re-set. If this were my only watch, it would not be a problem. But since I take it off and on so much, leaving it laying around for a week or 2 every now and then means I have to re-set it. This annoying quirk ironically I believe is marketed as a big selling point.

Hence, for the understated and classic beauty, (ie not a flashy, ostentatious time piece), this watch receives high marks. But for the self winding mechanism, I am a little less than 100% enthused.
